Fall 2009

Please note that unless otherwise specified, the time and location for the Grand Rounds will be on Fridays, 8:00 A.M. at the Butler Auditorium of the
Buffalo Psychiatric Center.


Knowledge in Psychiatry is accumulating at an accelerating pace that is both exhilarating and intimidating.  The Department of Psychiatry of the University at Buffalo is a resource to practitioners around the region for information about the latest advances in neurobiology, psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, developmental sciences and social and economic aspects of the field.  We are able to draw on national and local experts who can present complex information in a concise and relevant manner.

We look forward to an exciting and stimulating year of educational activities for Buffalo area clinicians.
